The Ending of the Troilus --$tIndex 330 $aIn this sensitive reading of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Winthrop Wetherbee redefines the nature of Chaucer's poetic vision. Using as a starting point Chaucer's profound admiration for the achievement of Dante and the classical poets, Wetherbee sees the Troilus as much more than a courtly treatment of an event in ancient history-it is, he asserts, a major statement about the poetic tradition from which it emerges. Wetherbee demonstrates the evolution of the poet-narrator of the Troilus, who begins as a poet of romance, bound by the characters' limited worldview, but who in the end becomes a poet capable of realizing the tragic and ultimately the spiritual implications of his story. 606 $aLove in literature 606 $aCressida (Fictitious character) 606 $aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war 606 $aTroilus (Legendary character) in literature 610 $aclassical literature 610 $aVergil 610 $aDante Alighieri 610 $aTroilus and Criseyde 610 $aStatius 610 $amedieval literature 610 $a(alternate spelling of "Vergil" Ovid 610 $aGeoffrey Chaucer 610 $aRoman de la rose 615 0$aLove in literature. 615 0$aCressida (Fictitious character) 615 0$aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aTroilus (Legendary character) in literature. 676 $a821/.1 700 $aWetherbee$b Winthrop$f1938-$0202752 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136646403321 996 $aChaucer and the Poets$92428194 997 $aUNINA
